English Language Tutor
Excellent English Language Teacher
English Language is the major means and language of communication in our country and other countries across the world. It therefore is important that we teach children from an early stage about the fundamentals of the language, it is important we teach them to read, speak and basically communicate with the language.
About
I am a dynamic teacher with vast experience in preparing students for entrance examinations into various schools.
I am proficient in Mathematics, Physics, English Language, Social Sciences, Basic Science and Technology.
I make sure to properly understand the learning style of each student I come across at the beginning of every session, I then tailor my own teaching processes and plan to enable me meet the needs of that student.
I also ensure I pay attention to every single detail as it concerns the learning process of my students.
I believe it is highly important I set clear goals along with the student at the beginning of every session and as we achieve it, we tick it as done. I have found that this goes a long way in affecting the child's mindset, when they realize that nothing is impossible for them to achieve.
Lastly, I have also come to understand the importance of communication and bonding in the teaching profession. It is important to me as a teacher that I am able to effectively get whatever I am teaching across to my student in such a way that he/she understands it fully, it is also important to me that my students are able to communicate and relate to me without any forms of barrier at any point in time.
I also have a constant desire to always advance my own knowledge, this energizes me as a tutor, and I believe that communicating this enthusiasm allows me to stimulate both the curiosity and diligence of my students.
I am currently a teacher at Busy Minds School and I have attended the following training to strengthen my capacity as a teacher: Effective Teaching in the Classroom, Effective Communication Between Students and Teachers, Lesson Preparation, etc.
All of these and much more have helped me get better at my job as a teacher.
